Thanks again guys. The rod in the barrel technique is something I never would have dreamed up myself. Royinidaho, I didn't see a picture of your creation.

The .833 3 round group was my past time out... with a different bullet altogether. I probably pulled a shot that made the group smaller. All I know is that my whole life I've tried to improve. Anyway I appreciate all of the help you guys have given me. I don have a permanent bench to bolt a...

Well, my accuracy with these 190 smks is embarrassing. I can't seem to make them work, and I'm just about ready to give it up (300 win mag). 180 gr Scirocco IIs are a best of .833 at 200 yards and 168 VLDs are right on a moa at 100. Ok, so I am able to accept that this may be a non-issue...

I reload with a Lee Hand Press. I started about 9 months ago, and just wanted to get my feet wet reloading so I went in cheap. Now I'm about ready to smash everything on my reloading bench, and I think it's a result of my equipment... but I'm not sure. I have had my bullet seating die locked...

Swift will probably be out of business by the next time I make it to the range, golf season is right around the corner! When you say finicky are you talking from lot to lot, or just nothing you seem to do produces consistent results. I'm pretty new at this, and my equipment isn't all that...

Thanks for the help!

I'm sure there's a brand that tends to be the best, or more preferred anyway. Any issues or downsides to something inexpensive like a Caldwell or Stoney Point?

12MB and 10MB up. P.S. - I certainly hope we don have anymore dial-up"pers" out there anymore.

No, I don't have a rear bag yet. I've been shooting at 100 yards for the past 6 months, and it's driving me nuts not to be able to stretch it out, but with performances like this, I'll just get more frustrated if I do. My best load this far has been 168 gr VLD with 69.5 gr H4350. My 5 shot...

Went to the range today with for loads of H1000 and 180gr Scirocco IIs. I've only been shooting 3 round groups lately due to the shortage (read: complete unavailability) of supplies. As you can see, this was a pretty poor day. Much of it is likely the reloader and shooter, but I like to think I...

Good evening gentlemen! With the shortage of powder (on my reloading bench and any store in the nation) and bullets and primers, and cases, I've decided to take a short break from reloading and tinker with my rifles. So today I removed my nightforce off of my UHR, because it wasn't square to my...

I literally had this same thought two days ago. Here's my best explanation. The 1770 says all the features above plus... The 1750 and below don't have any additional features.

You bet it is; however, depending on the caliber, midsouthshooterssupply.com has Nosler brass in stock: Search | Shooting Supplies | Reloading | MidsouthShootersSupply.com They don't carry RWS. Primers are currently out of stock, but are expected to be on-hand in two more days. Gold Medal...

I'm in Clarksville... home to the wonderful Mid-South Shooter's Supply!

I've been creeping from outside of the forums for about 3 months, and am unsure as to why it took me this long to join. I am always amazed at the wealth of knowledge here. I have a CZ 550 UHR that I am using as a segway from normal (close) range hunting to long range hunting. It has a...
